Participation in
Activities
develops us into well-rounded people. We
engage with others to develop outside interests and expose us to new and
differing points of view. By
contributing in the larger world, we demonstrate that Chi Omega makes a
difference in the lives of women.

Friendship
is what binds us to each other and to our Fraternity. The friendships we develop in Chi Omega give
us a home across geography and generations and give us lasting support
throughout our lives.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation is Chi Omega Fraternity's National Philanthropy. Since the start of our alliance, Chi Omegas have made a difference in many children's lives through volunteering time, talents, and dollars. The Make-A-Wish Foundation has honored Chi Omega for the incredible volunteer efforts of our members.

It all began on April 5, 1895, at the University of Arkansas when four young women, with the help of a local dentist, established the secrets and symbolism that today bind over 260,000 women. This small band of women founded Chi Omega after realizing a need for an organization that would foster both friendship and respect for the potential and inherent value of women. Over the years, Chi Omega has provided its members with unique opportunities in leadership, scholarship, and lifelong friendship - striving to provide each Sister with a commitment to personal integrity, excellence in academic and intellectual pursuits, intergenerational participation, community service, leadership opportunities and social enrichment.

Career and PersonalDevelopment prepares us for
life’s work and makes us marketable regardless of the path we choose. Sisters serve as mentors and coaches along
the way. Chi Omega promotes personal
growth and teaches us to work earnestly at whatever we choose to do.

Chi Omega is FUN! Every year, over 5,000 young women across America
join the largest women’s fraternity in the world for sisterhood and lifelong
friendships.

A
letter from our recruitment chair:

Recruitment can be overwhelming and crazy, but it will be one of the most rewarding experiences of your college career. Going through recruitment I remember being so worried about what I was wearing and making a good first impression, but one of the best pieces of advice that I can give you as a Potential New Member is to just be yourself! I have learned that it is the girl's personality that leaves the biggest impression on sisters during recruitment.

Our chapter is made up of wonderful, unique, and diverse women of different walks of life, backgrounds, hometowns, majors, and personalities, and we have all found our home in Chi Omega. We cannot wait to show you why we love Chi Omega, and hope you find your home with us, too.

XO,

Hayden Lee

2016 Recruitment Chair

Sincere Learning and
Creditable Scholarship means that we care about our intellectual
development. We embrace the spirit and
excitement of learning throughout our lives and encourage others to better
themselves.

Community Service means that we want to make a difference on our campuses and in our

others unselfishly makes the world a better place and makes us better
people. Serving and giving helps to
connect us.
